Fall Math Work Station Freebies and Ideas

I am loving math work stations and so are the children! They look forward to math time everyday. I am also enjoying designing activities for stations. I made a trip to Dollar Tree and Target last week and picked up some great manipulatives.

The jack-o-lantern erasers are from Target, you can download the gameboards below. In this game, students each have 20 erasers and a set of numeral cards 1-9, they each choose a card from the container and place that number of jack-o-lanterns on their board. The partner who has the most, gives their erasers to the other player. The player who ends up with all the erasers wins.

The acrylic pumpkins are also from Target, the gameboards can be downloaded below.The game is the same as the one above.

 I found these adorable ice cube trays from Dollar Tree, each student will have 20 pompoms (or you could use pumpkin seeds). Each player takes a turn shaking the dice and putting the correct number of pompoms in the pumpkins. The last roll must be the correct number of spaces left for the student to win.

I found this adorable pumpkin pattern on Kristin Poindexter's blog Kristen's Kindergarten. Students will spin a pattern block spinner and fill the pumpkin pattern. They will then count each shape and record on a response sheet. I use magnetic pattern blocks on a magnetic dry erase board. It helps keep shapes in place!!
(I made several sets of blocks by putting a magnet on the back of thin plastic pattern blocks on a magnetic dry erase board.)

I also found the erasers at Dollar Tree. This week my children will make sets and next week I will use them for patterning. I will be uploading the patterning strips next week.
